Did you just get your Class A CDL? Are you struggling to find a company that will give you a chance? We understand how it can be difficult to get started in this industry without experience—and we’re here to help.

If you have your Class A license you can get started with us with no prior experience. This is an entry-level position designed for recent graduates (in the last 2 years)of a CDL training program (at least 120 hour program) who are ready to begin their Over-The-Road (OTR) career.

We are offering:
  • 23 immediate job openings

  • Your weekly pay:

    • $650/week during training in your first 30 days

    • $1,200–$1,600+ per week after training (depending on route)

  • Comprehensive benefits available after 30 days:

    • Medical, dental, vision, ect 401(k), paid vacation

    • $10,000 in company-paid life insurance

    • Disability insurance

  • Flexible home time options: OTR, regional, or dedicated runs

  • CDL tuition reimbursement up to $1,000 if you paid for your own schooling

  • Free college tuition for you or one immediate family member

What You Can Expect:
  • A straightforward and fast hiring process

  • High-quality training with professional, experienced trainers

  • Hands-on driving experience to help build your skills and confidence

  • Opportunities in various divisions: dry van, reefer, and flatbed

  1. Submit your application—we’ll contact you for a short phone interview

  2. We guide you through the initial paperwork and online application

  3. Your application is reviewed by a Class A hiring specialist

  4. Upon approval, you'll attend a 1 1/2 day orientation

  5. After orientation, you'll begin 4 weeks of on-the-road training ($650/week) You won't get home during this time.

  6. Following training, you’ll take a short break at home to unwind (2–5 days)

  7. Afterwards you'll then meet with your fleet manager to select your route and start as a full-time solo driver paying #1200-$1600 and up.

Requirements:
  • You must be at least 21 years old

  • Currently hold a valid Class A CDL and current DOT physical

  • Recently graduated from a 120-hour CDL training academy within the past 2 years, we'll need a copy of your certificate of completion.
